How to install iOS 9.x Simulator on Xcode 11?


It seems iOS 9 simulator is supported by Xcode 11, but only on macOS 10.14 Mojave. After upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina, this simulator is not supported any more.

Though I didn't find confirmation of this in any release notes. The only acknowledgment I found is this tweet by Apple engineer: https://twitter.com/xenadu02/status/1140093901438689280?lang=en


I tried installing Xcode 10.1 on my Mac, but it also did not work for iOS9, i suspect it has to do with Apple dropping support for 32 bit applications (like iOS9)


iOS 9.3 (9.3 - 13E233) - com.apple.CoreSimulator.SimRuntime.iOS-9-3 (unavailable, The iOS 9.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.14.99.) (unavailable, The iOS 9.3 simulator runtime is not supported on hosts after macOS 10.14.99.)
